Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Today is my wife’s birthday, Thursday is Thanksgiving, and on Friday I’m heading out on a long weekend to celebrate our 40th anniversary. I don’t think I’ll be loitering here too much over the next few days, so cheers!

Those criminals should die, and the politicians and bureaucrats who try to punish this man for self-defense should be sent into the general population of a local jail for 12 months for violation of the 2nd Amendment.

We’ve become a country full of pussies.Correct. And the otherwise adults in the FAA are catering to the fraction of a percent of people who claim to be hurt by any language other than the language from the woke altar.

Spin Zone / Re: Trump gag order lifted
« on: November 17, 2023, 06:13:20 AM »https://twitter.com/BehizyTweets/status/1725269385269436801I always thought such gag orders violated 1A, but I wasn’t seeing a lot of legal experts making that argument.
BREAKING: A New York appeals judge has lifted the gag order imposed on Trump by Judge Arthur Moron in the fraud case.
Judge David Friedman's ruling not only removes the gag on Trump but also his lawyers. Friedman blasted Engoron for lacking the authority and violating Trump's constitutional rights with his gag order
I think a lot of J6 defendants had similar gag orders. This should have a rush of Appeals cases happening.

« on: November 17, 2023, 06:10:16 AM »Not to mention staring down at an approach plate on a knee pad, even for 3-4 seconds, you’ll deviant off your heading and/or altitude. I see it a lot with my instrument students, oops, excuse, “learners”.That’s why I went from those thick regional approach plate books to the loose leaf books so I could put the individual plate on the yoke with Cessna’s little clip. Less head movement.
Im not instrument current so I don’t even know if they have those loose leaf versions any more.

This is a good site. Thanks Becky.
Keep in mind that this measures only debt in terms of bonds and other debt instruments. We still have liability for unfunded retirement and social security obligations which is above and beyond this.

« on: November 16, 2023, 02:55:10 PM »Agreed!! I'm working with both NOS and Jepp charts. It seems that NOS approach plates are a little less cluttered and easier to read in flight. Jepp airport diagrams are way better than NOS since they have all the information in one place and it's easier to digest that way. NOS you have to look around in other publications for alternate and departure issues. I hate paying for Jepp for just that.You can see the whole plate with a mini. It sizes in ForeFlight for the field of view.
And I see what you mean... get all planned for a runway and approach based on the winds and then they shift to something different and you're not all set up and have to scramble. At least I'm getting better at flying while looking elsewhere.
Now I'm trying to figure out where to mount the iPad with all the cool information. The other side of the plane stuck to the window is great for VFR but too far for close reading. Yoke mount is too close. No room on the left window. Blocks too much in the middle. Looking at kneeboard options. But i may have to bite the bullet and get a mini. Instructor has one, but I like being able to see the whole plate without panning and zooming.
I have my instrument rating but did that in 2010 before ForeFlight was so prevalent. However I’d caution you about the head movement necessary to reference ForeFlight on your knee and then scanning instruments. Sounds like vertigo waiting to happen if you’re in the soup.

« on: November 16, 2023, 02:33:34 PM »The flow diagram is incomplete.Yea, well I kind of knew it was a simplified version, Jim. I couldn’t find the Sesame Street version to post.
Unlike most bills, the budget process generally starts with the president submitting a budget proposal or guidelines to congress. Legislation enacted in 1921 had turned over a lot of the preliminary budget setting to the executive branch. Subsequent laws modified some of the process.
Supporting source: https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/the-constitution-and-the-federal-budget-process
So today, the Congress and the President share budget responsibilities, under a very general mandate from the Constitution. The President proposes annual budget guidelines. The proposed budget from the President is considered and amended in many cases by House and Senate committees. At some point, a group of House and Senate members meets to work out differences between these appropriations bills. And then the President signs the individual bills, or the one bill that includes the entire budget. If not all the bills are signed by October 1, Congress can pass a continuing resolution until all the bills are passed. But in some cases, a deadlock can lead to a government shutdown if continuing resolutions aren’t passed by that deadline.
There are plenty of other diagrams out there that are illustrative yet still simplified.

« on: November 16, 2023, 02:27:30 PM »On your liar statement: FUCK YOU and the horse you rode in on. Your mouth is writing checks your fat lumpy ass can’t cash.Yea well go fuck yourself. Every statement you made about me not acknowledging the damage of the RNC, RINOs and the establishment - you used all three- was a fucking lie, and you have zero basis for those statements. I’ve been here since the beginning of PS so everyone here knows my conservative bona fides.
Now, back to the conversation. If the RNC actually wanted a win, they would get behind a candidate the voters wanted, not constantly try to undermine.
I disagree with Trump backing Ronna Botox as she is as fucked up as her uncle. Honestly I wish Trump would have dumped the pathetic republicans and let their party become a fringe outsider that they so richly deserve.
You also continue to lie about Ron DeSantis - co-founder of the House Freedom Caucus - being establishment. You must think I’m one of those Crayon eaters who eat up that lie started by Trump and then parrot it over and over and over. You thought incorrectly.
As for Trump supporting McDaniel, this is from Wiki:
“On November 13, 2016, Reince Priebus, chairman of the RNC, was announced as the new White House Chief of Staff, thereby turning the RNC chairman election into an open seat election. Soon afterward, several candidates were reported as likely to seek the position, including McDaniel.[19] On December 14, 2016, McDaniel was chosen by then president-elect Trump as his recommendation to replace Priebus.[20][2] She served as deputy chair before her formal election.[18] She was officially elected as RNC chair on January 19, 2017, by unanimous vote, becoming the second woman (after Mary Louise Smith) in RNC history to hold the post.[21] According to The Washington Post, Trump requested that she stop using her maiden name, and McDaniel subsequently did not use it in official communications.[22] McDaniel denies that Trump pressured her to change the name.[14]
“McDaniel was re-elected as RNC chair in unanimous elections in both 2019 and 2021, with the endorsement of Trump in both elections.[23][24]”

« on: November 16, 2023, 01:26:45 PM »Apparently people don't understand the difference between primary responsibility and contributing responsibility.Oh for Christ’s sake, Bob. Glad you see that the president is involved in the process, but primary and “contributing” responsibly are your terms without any relevance.
A pilot departs, flies into IMC, loses control, pops out the bottom of the overcast/clouds inverted/spinning out of control... and the plane comes apart.
Various contributing factors contributing to the fatality, but the primary cause of the "accident" is....
No budget bill is signed or vetoed by the President unless it comes from Congress. The President doesn't get to do anything but sign it or veto it. Congress is responsible for passing deficit budgets.
We have three branches of government, and two of them are responsible for passing every bill, including revenue bills. Article I, Section 7 spells it all out, including the President’s responsibility in the process.
From a practical perspective, the Executive branch regularly butts their heads into negotiations to help shape a bill that the President can sign, politically. It is not like Congress sends thousand page bills to the President without his prior knowledge of what’s in it, and expect him to sign it within the 10-day window. Presidents know exactly what they are getting before they get it.
